Cask in a J.D. Wetherspoon, London
Dark amber color. Light aroma and not particularly rich taste, malty with loads of caramel. Ordinary.

500ml bottle from Morrisons. Orange copper colour with thin white head. Strong caramel and orange aroma with some sulphur. Malts are reasonably juicy with sharp hop finish. One of the best Marston bottled beers, touch of spice too

Cask@Charlie, Copenhagen
Hazy golden, low head. Subtle hop and fruit aroma. Solid fruity base, slighly yeasty - bottom of cask - and hints of aromatic hops. Flat of course ;-)

Cask @ Charlie’s Bar. Dark red colour. Malty aroma with hints of molasses and some fruitiness. Flavor is very malty and hints of caramel and dark fruits. The alcohol leaves you with a warming feeling. The finish is a little sweet.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Yeasty/hop/caramel aroma. Good warming malt but ultimately a bit thin. Hop bite on the end is ok with yeast carrying on throughout. OK bitter

(Bottle 50 cl) Very pretty, deep golden colour with a small, creamy head. Rather light in body with hints of caramel and a discreet sweetness. Quaffable, easy drinking. Brewed only with Golden Promise malts - hence the "single" tag. A malt also once favoured by Scottish whisky distillers. 180701

(Bottle 50 cl) Rather pale amber with a small, dense head. Lovely soft malt character with a weak sweetness and only a limited bitterness. A very easy going brew. 020301

(Bottle 50 cl) Black with a warm, reddish glow and a creamy, beige head. Roasted, malty flavours with only a touch of bitterness. Very accessible. 271000

Bottle. Creamy good mostly deminishing head. Fantasctic redbrown colour. Very clear. Heavy malty and yeasty aroma. A bit watery flavour and palate.

Bottle. I have not changed my scores, as the new sample is of an old bottle, BB-date 990311. My scores for this old bottle would be 6-5-6-4-15-3.6. I found it by accident in my cellar, and this is the "norwegian" version, bottled by Aass in the late 90’s. Clear, black with a small brown head, no carbonation. Rounded aromas of sweet, roasted malts. Sour-sweet, bitter flavors with coffee, chokolate and a hint of cellar. Medium body. This seven year old beer with a quite low ABV stored well, and matured in a mostly pleasant way. (060113)[br][br]On tap at Christian Firtal, Odense, Denmark. A black stout with a small tan head. Mild flavors of roasted malt and coffee. Medium-bodied and drinkable. (051028)
